CHAPTER 4 ORGANIZING
I. Organizing: Structures and Design
Definition of Organizing
Organizing is the process of grouping together of positions and establishing relationships

among them, defining the authority and responsibility of personnel by using the company’s other
basic resources to attain predetermined goals or objectives.
Subfunctions of Organizing
1. Divide up the Work
2. Arrange Resources
3. Coordinate Activities
Organizing a Structure as a Process
Organizing a Structure as a process should consider several factors or fundamentals:

1. First, the structure must reflect objectives and plans because activities of the
organization are based on them.
2. Second, the structure must reflect authority given to the top and middle management.
3. Third, organization structure, like any other plan, should reflect their external
environment.
The Nature and Development of an Organization
An organization is defined as a group of people working together, assuming respective

duties and responsibilities, to achieve a common goal.
Another definition is that an organization is the framework or backbone by which the

work of a business, managerial or otherwise, is performed, that it provides the required channels,
points of origin and flow of management direction and control.

functions of each position..
